SINKING FEELING is a game where you fall through space and time... sort of. It's mostly glass! (INVISIBLE SURFACES).

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Use arrow keys to SMASH THAT GLASS.
- Avoid the sharp bits (AKA the sides and ends).
- New content for every 10 panes smashed.

NOW AVAILABLE:
- Browser version!

FIXES:
- OSX: Game no longer crashes when hitting glass.
- Windows: Audio no longer plays once the game window is closed.
- Windows: Missing dlls msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll are now included in the download.
- Windows: Added error message if your computer does not support OpenGL 3.2.

TODO:
- Mobile version?
- Super speeeeed!

I like the audio and the visual presentation fits well, too. The game is quite hard but still very addictive! For a post-compo version, I would make it a little, little bit easier by moving the player a bit to the top so he has more time to react. My record was 22. The music kept playing for a while after I closed the game :D
ZeppelinCaptain28 Apr 2014, 19:37
Hm. It says that MSVCR120.dll is missing when I try to launch on Windows.

I got dizzy... gets really difficult (and fast!) early on xD
Brian Stegmann29 Apr 2014, 02:43
Crashes for me as well, but I was able to get a good feel for the game before it happened.

Aske29 Apr 2014, 21:35
Totally worth downloading ;D

Ah, I found your game! I think it's really well-designed in a deliciously simple way! Nicely done!

dector29 Apr 2014, 22:54
Seems like complete game. Is Android version planning? It would be very cool.
Gwinnell
Gwinnellauthor29 Apr 2014, 23:01
@dector: Is that something you'd be interested in?! :D I'd need to balance it a whole lot more before a proper release though. :)
Newt_29 Apr 2014, 23:21
When I click the link, it says account suspended? D:
Spaceoff
Spaceoff29 Apr 2014, 23:24
Same here, account suspended. Use dropbox or hostr or something - some web hosts don't appreciate actual traffic >_>.

Gwinnellauthor29 Apr 2014, 23:35
@Newt_ @Spaceoff -- WHOOPS! I didn't go over the bandwidth limit, I somehow missed an invoice from my hosting provider. All fixed now!

Cool little game. Seems like it'd be a great fit for mobile. I like the glass breaking effects.
mimic29 Apr 2014, 23:43
Visual and audio are top notch. Best I got was 28.

Fast paced, hard as fuck and brilliant presentation...

Doesn't fit the theme that much, but definively that kind of addictive and simple game that works very well.

I had some glass panel not being destroyed when I hit them (but still added to the score, so I guess it's okay), but really well done anyway. :)

Awesome job! great graphics, I was rockin to the music, and really nice risk/reward gameplay. Its allot like the games I make in that regard, could be a great mobile game!
petey12356730 Apr 2014, 23:29
Straightforward, immediately fun. Awesome!
Wakka30 Apr 2014, 23:58
very fun retro-style arcade game with flappy bird like addictiveness

Oh it's really addictive... enjoyed a lot! Web version seems a little buggy( I fall through a grass but sometime it just not counted ), so I tried download version and finally got 21.
Linus Lindberg1 May 2014, 22:31
OMG this is sooo good I'm going to spend all night playing this!!! <3<3
You really nailed the addictive and frustrating gameplay, and on top of that it's visually stunning and the audio is perfect. 5/5 one of the most fun games this LD!

Very difficult but enjoyed :)

I love it ! It reminds me of solipskier.

really good but so hard - give some more indication where the glass will be - nice job
matthias_zarzecki6 May 2014, 16:55
this feels great :D

I love this game. It's a head falling through panes of glass in space. I played a lot of times and finally got to the white screen and will play more. I think the idea of going for or avoiding the glass is great.
